Elizabeth- The Leader

  [LOAD SUMMARY...]  

[SUMMARY] Sister to John 117, the legendary Spartan, she is a footnote usually left out of the story, or given a smaller mention. With brown hair and eyes, both herself and John could be lost in a crowd, with no real discernible features that make them unique, except for a tattoo on her, and his larger figure. She was cryo-frozen and revived much later, only to leave her with some mental disabilities when it came to anger management and management of her emotional capacity. She  is the leader of Team Zeta, despite being fairly young looking. However, while she has "lived" for 24 years, her real age is closer to 44, Because of the cryo incident. She can change into a dragon at will, without fire of course. Her dragon form is black, and has developed a red gradient on her scales as she has gotten older. She couldn't use her power for several years, after the events following the Ark's appearance, and the Gravemind's death. Little is known about how the Librarian not only saved the group, but gave her back her ability to walk and use her powers. She also has regained a few mental faculties she was missing, giving her more of a functional role. She is a captain that maintains a few aids due to her mental scars from the cryo.[END SUMMARY] 

Star- The Engineer

  [LOAD SUMMARY...]    

[SUMMARY]An Engineer, or Huragok, developed by the Forerunners, Star is a part of the team for her mechanical prowess, as she is a supercomputer that loves to tinker around with everything. She remains one of the few engineers that are highly regarded, and also scorned. She is extremely loyal to her friends, which is different from most engineers. She also seems to have more personality, and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty if the situation calls for it, such as in the armory back before the events of Delta Halo. She has become much less scared of the weapons and using them since then, but prefers to stay out of the fight. She remains as timid as before. Star also sports a unique armor that she developed herself in case of a dangerous mission. It has the insignia for Team Zeta, her name (In a symbol form) and a few designs she created. While not the most stealthy, she tends to be an upbeat and happy part of the team. [END SUMMARY]

Faith- The Rogue

  [LOAD SUMMARY...]    

[SUMMARY]Living in the mid-city slums on Earth, this team member grew up poor, and knew her way around to survive. An only child, Faith chose to hang with a lot of the boys, and often got herself into trouble, messing with other people's things. However, she never stole from anyone else, and instead was a moral compass for the group she had commandeered. In high school, she met Katie Rose, the girl she married after joining the UNSC, before her first deployment with the ODSTs. Faith was the top of her class, and remained a valuable member, despite having a wicked tongue that would sass everyone she was around, if they decided to mess with her. Despite that, her work in the service led her quickly to the officer ranks, where she was offered a position on Team Zeta, through a project known as Project Songbird. She still is married to Katie, the interracial couple happily together and seeing each other as often as they can, for a diplomatic service agent and a UNSC officer. Faith is a 5'6" african-descended girl with brown eyes and black hair. She wears her hair up in a bun or ponytail, and leaves it in braids, having to go to a hairdresser every so often to get them fixed, which is a day process. However, she makes it work with the service time. She is 26, and Katie is 27.[END SUMMARY]

Continuing in the service, he aided with the battle on Earth and on Delta Halo, earning his ranks into officer. Given the chance to become a part of Project Songbird, he discussed with his wife beforehand, to make sure she was alright with the decision. Knowing that he wanted to continue service, it was a way for him to forget his past plasma burns, his broken limbs, and continue on. His wife, Rosaline, works in a city in the USA, New York, selling flowers and other plant life that are easy to grow and maintain in the urban area. His kids are 10 and 12, and both are queer.

Because of his uniform, most are not visible. He also has a few scars, due to surgery, cuts in battle, and a few wounds. He has received the Purple Heart, and many other commendations for his service.
